Asking questions the internet could answer - Some people use questions as a conversation starter, and others find it plain annoying. If you’re emailing someone an easily Google-searchable question, you get double irksome points.

Coming to work when you’re clearly ill - If you’re sick, you’re not doing anyone a favor by coming in. The constant sniffling, and the potential spread of germs, will annoy everyone. Also, never sneeze or cough without covering your mouth!

Oversharing - Having friends at work is important, but there are some personal topics you should never share or ask other people about. Avoid becoming Michael Scott by staying away from TMI (too much information).

Asking for help with the same problems again and again - You’re clearly not taking the time to learn to do it properly, and there’s nothing more annoying than showing someone how to do something over and over again.

Eavesdropping - Everyone eavesdrops, but have the decency to be subtle about it! No one appreciates a third party chiming in to the middle of your conversation, and it’s a little creepy when you bring something up with a colleague that they never actually told you.

Cackling - If you’re one of those people that has a loud laugh, perhaps work isn’t the time to watch funny videos. Laughter is always important, but don’t let your own joy impede on others’. Additionally, yawns should be silent.

Asking for donations - To be fair, most people will be more than happy to donate to charity, sponsor colleagues doing enormous feats, or buy Girl Scout cookies, but there is a line. There is also a cap on how many times you can ask within a year.

Constantly complaining - If you complain about work, you’re really just bringing happy colleagues down and reminding unhappy colleagues of their own unhappiness. Also, no one wants to hear about your commute or how busy you are.

Gossiping - Office gossips are like big fish in a small pond simply because they think they know everything about everyone and they’re willing to share their knowledge with anyone who’s in earshot. But this isn’t high school anymore...

Asking inappropriate/repeated questions - Asking personal questions, especially in front of others, and asking the same questions everyday (like what someone had for lunch, or what they’re doing on the weekend) tend to be annoying versions of small talk.

Blind copying the boss into emails - Especially when they’re about someone’s personal matters, highlighting a colleague’s mistake, or requesting that a colleague does something for you. It's just plain shady.

Taunting dieters with treats - Bringing treats into the office is a nice occasional gesture, but when you know your coworkers are on a diet, it can be torture. Conversely, polishing off the treats before anyone else is a big pet peeve.

Are you guilty of these annoying office habits?

Send this to a coworker who needs to take a hint

You know the feeling: you've just arrived at work and you're in a good mood. At the very least, the sun is shining and you feel prepared to do a good job...

You walk into the office kitchen and someone finished the coffee, but that's okay, you make a fresh pot. Then you get called into a meeting, which ends up being pointless, and someone walks in late and you have to repeat the whole thing. Throughout the day, people interrupt you constantly, phones are dinging, a strange smell begins to waft through the air, and now you're irked. But there are still several hours to go. By the time you get home, you're confused as to why you're so tired because you actually didn't accomplish much.

Somehow, across the millions of different offices around the world, and millions of people in them, the same annoying habits keeping bubbling up to the surface, causing bad days and premature graying in disgruntled employees across the globe.

While many people like to separate work from their outside life, the reality is that you probably spend more time at work, and with those same coworkers, than almost anywhere else, so it’s important that it doesn’t drive you crazy—and that you’re not driving anyone else crazy.

There are tons of office stereotypes, some that can be helped and others that may just be in people’s nature, but nothing is more tortuous than the symphony of dissonance as your colleagues play out their bad habits in a vexing harmony.

But what if you’re part of the problem? A lot of irritating behavior is simply born from being inconsiderate of others in the workplace, but some of it might not even be obvious to you.
